They used to live in London before the company moved to Evesham. Before they bought GB they were all regulars of GW Richmond when I was the manager and Soapy was my Part Timer. That was nearly 10 years ago. :o.

[quote="Lowtardog" I am not that far away form Richmond, Aylesbury Bucks is what 30 miles...hmmmm[/quote]

Karl, its a quick (?) trip around the M25 and straight up the M3/A316. Its a pretty straight run through, but rush hour traffic maybe a problem.
If you want to come over one night we could go together(there's always safety in numbers) :)

Yep, that was me - the 20mm collection has grown considerably since then and the box files now take up more than a couple of book cases.

I was D and D and then Rifles before being put out to stud  :o

and yes, i had a fantastic time in Madrid  :)
